Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Remedial sealant in Throwley, done properly
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help.
Being in a small place like Throwley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. In a small place like Throwley, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Throwley
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Throwley
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Throwley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
